It takes 40,000 to 60,000 bees and about 2 million flowers to make 500g of honey. Long before sugar became widely used, honey has been valued as a natural sweetener in the ancient civilizations.

Not all honey is created equal. The quality of honey depends on floral nectar, weather, soil, and landscape, environment pollution level and beekeeping practices. Raw local honey is the best choice when buying. Light colored honey is more valued than dark colored. Honey becomes darker when stored for a long time. High water content affects the quality of honey.
